Hilda is unhappy at Stan's loss of appetite. Stan and Betty keep their activities secret and Hilda thinks Stan's got another woman. Cyril tells the residents that the squatters' father has been arrested and imprisoned for three years. The squatters leave No.12 before they can be evicted as a farmer in the Cheshire village of Chelford offered the mother, Mrs Storey, a job and accommodation to go with it. Hilda thinks Stan is having an affair with Betty.

This episode features a subtly different arrangement of the closing theme music.

The Squatters in No.12 in this and the previous two episodes are spoken of but never seen. They are identified as a Mrs Storey and her three children who took up occupancy after her husband was sent to jail.
